Burnley suffered a 0-2 defeat against Everton, with goals from Amadou Onana and Michael Keane. The match also marked the return of Sean Dyche, who came back to haunt his former team.

Amadou Onana from Everton celebrated alongside his teammates Abdoulaye Doucoure and Ben Godfrey following his team’s opening goal in the Premier League game between Burnley FC and Everton FC on December 16, 2023 in Burnley, England.

In a commanding performance, Everton achieved their fourth straight win in the Premier League, comfortably defeating Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor. Regrettably, the home team endured their 13th loss of the season, as they were unable to pose a significant danger to Jordan Pickford’s goal. During the entire game, Everton’s improvised defensive line composed of Michael Keane, James Tarkowski, and Ben Godfrey successfully prevented Burnley from scoring, resulting in their fourth consecutive game without conceding a goal. The defensive strength exhibited by the Toffees was praiseworthy.

The game took a decisive turn in just six minutes of the first half. Amadou Onana displayed his exceptional ability in the air by forcefully heading in a corner delivered by Dwight McNeil, granting Everton the advantage. Shortly after, Michael Keane took advantage of a rebound, converting it into a goal after his initial shot was saved by James Trafford. After securing this triumph, Everton rose to the 16th position in the Premier League standings. Conversely, Burnley now resides in the relegation zone, trailing by six points from safety. The Clarets must gather themselves and strategize in order to reverse their misfortunes and prevent demotion.
